You asked for it, you got it. The Random Thing of the Day thread. If it's random and doesn't fit anywhere else, then please feel free to post it here.

To start things off, possibly the most profound Cracked article I've ever read, it's about the Wizard of Oz: http://www.cracked.com/article_18881_5-reasons-greatest-movie-villain-ever-good-witch.html_________________

A fetish for ideas that hold as much interest and passion as old religious relics for some. We display them in our homes. They show who we are. They are signals for similar thinking people. A way we connect with each other...and I guess thats why I do toys. That connection." -Ashley Wood

I've always enjoyed The Wizard of Oz, but the ding-dong song always disturbed me. _________________

I said "...I'll have to get this on DVD..." and realized that there used to be a time when this was relevant because VHS was an option. I almost commented on how the phrase is no longer useful, but then I realized that bluray is now an option, so I guess the phrase isn't dead yet. However, it certainly has been reversed. DVD's are now the VHS of this age._________________

I'm sorry, but I just find that list highly questionable. Celine Dion? Really? And they couldn't think of three more reasons? _________________I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar. That doesn't mean I hate or love Lucas, or agree or disagree 100% with him. That doesn't mean I prefer the PT over the OT, or vice versa. That doesn't mean I hate the EU, or even love all of it (or even read all of it). These are not prerequisites. Being a man is not a prerequisite. Being a geek is not a prerequisite. The only prerequisite is that I love something about Star Wars. I am a Star Wars fan.

Obviously Canada has exactly 37 awesome things (Reep, you should add yourself to the list and make it 38 ). But bags of milk? I've never heard of this. Is it like a Capri Sun juice drink thing, because I'm mentally picturing a grocery bag full of milk _________________

Haha. Here we go.

Basically we get bags of milk and we have pitchers to put them in:
We then cut a curner of the bag off and pour it like so:

Abd, you know what, I'll make the list count forty:
38. Hockey!
39. "Oh Canada"!
40. Untouched Northern Wilderness!
Honestly, I don't know why they stoppped at 37! _________________
